I'm 20. Started it when I was 19 on Halloween at a rave.
I find this poll to be a little open with the age categories. I mean, 10-19? 20-29? Those are big gaps in ages lol.

Wow, didn't realize you're almost 40 Bearlove. That's really cool that you've been able to enjoy MDMA for so long. I've only been using for 2.5 years (first tried in 2004, but didn't really start doing it till summer 2008 ).
 
Well, I've made the number up to eight ugly (I feel bad using that name). I hit the big 50 this year and it looks worse written down than it does to feel it.

I had my first E about ten years ago, but have been using various drugs since I was 16. My rule has always been moderation, but I will admit to excess in moderation :)

Aside from an obvious increase in risks associated with drug use as you get older, I feel good quality MDMA 'feels' so much better than some of the stronger stimulants. And I do think there are benefits to rolling/using in more advanced years. The obvious one's are hopefully, an ability to afford decent gear. Better surroundings for party's etc. No more sneaking your mates round when the folks are away. More respect is given when making purchases. And I can pretty much do what I want, when I want - subject to availability of course :)

To be honest, aside from some nasty aches and pains, I actually feel better these days than I did back in my early twenties. I know my body, my body knows me and I know my limits (OK, I tend not to listen still though), and by now, I pretty much know myself.

Most of my friends are in their twenties and thirties as I really enjoy the energy of this age group. I still party and dance away the night, and can outlast many of my other friends still. Sure, my recovery takes longer afterwards, but I'm still usually the last one to crash.

What really makes me sad is that I seem to be the last man standing from my age group. Most have either died, or just settled down into an existence I always shunned. As far as I know, this life is our only chance, and I intend to live every moment while I can. I will never loose my hedonistic life style, and will continue to experiment and mix with younger people until I am no longer accepted I guess.

OK, the only fly in this ointment is my partner who is 12 years younger and far more 'sensible' than me. She tries to keep me steered down a path she considers safer, but it's probably a good thing at times.
 
I am 33 and don;t roll much anymore,because most pills are shitty compared to the ones in the early and mid 90's to me.We never got pipes then and the pills were almost always strong enough to roll off one.Although I am sure they had some fake or low dose pills then as know,I only got my rolls from trusted sources and they always were Grade A pills..ahh the good days are gone ,know all these greedy bastards selling fake pills cut with speed or pipes and maybe a little MDMA mixed in,although I hear of pills that are straight up pipes,or meth pills or whatever with no actuall MDMA in them...sucks..When I roll I still get my pills or capsules and they are still Grade A MDMA,although I just do not have the desire to roll as much as I did when I was younger..
 
nomy: Your partner is 12 years younger? Good show. I'm 12 years younger than my partner, which was awesome for the first 25 years, then he became disabled, and it wasn't as awesome anymore. He's still a wonderful person though... just generally nonfunctional.

I find function in men 12 or more years younger than me now. I still have to have a functional male on occasion. I need it.
 
Haha, like it ugly. It's an interesting point you make, but perhaps not one I should pursue in this thread - however much I'd like to :)

You know it's funny, and I may well get slammed for this thought, but in my experience, females are generally far more sensible than males, and 'mature' sooner IMO. I think that's why I was attracted to a younger girl. We met when I was 30 and she was 18. I've hardly changed over the years as far as I'm aware, but I've seen her go through some dramatic changes in her outlook on life. It frustrates the hell out of me that to get her out to party, is like getting blood out of a stone sometimes. She's full of hangups about how she looks, and how she behaves or is seen to behave. When she lets go she's still a top party girl, but for some reason, she's wracked by remorse afterwards. Sad really. She was always the first one to get her kit off, and flirt like crazy, but no more. Ahh, happy daze :)

Anyway, the upshot is that I have to go out without her now most of the time, but I'd rather not.

Like I say, I'm generalising here, and you disprove my point ugly (can I call you sue?) But we both seem to have young heads, and need to seek out younger people to stay young. Some kind of vampirism I guess :)
 
something like vampirism I suppose. I met my man when I was 18 and he was 30, just like you. 32 years after meeting him, he won't leave the house, does not like any of my friends, does not have any friends of his own or any hobbies. He does not use drugs anymore except for the pain killers and muscle relaxers he gets. He does not know anything about me. I shield him from my personal foibles entirely. I see no reason to upset him over something he can't fix.

I can't fix me either. I'm 51. I am much more willing to take risks and find a way to scratch whatever itch comes my way. I'm starting to go through the change and that does not help me at all. I see why they call it "change of life" because I am changing. Seriously and constantly it seems like.
 
Some spooky age coincidences going off here...

Sounds like you are having a tough ride indeed. All the more reason for the importance of your social circle and social scene I guess.

The one big thing I've noticed with age, is an acceptance that I'm basically selfish. So I now feel it's OK to self serve as long as I don't harm anyone emotionally in the process.

Funny old life innit? A long search for that perfect soul partner, a few years of compatible bliss, then a slow drift and realisation that we're all alone irrespective of how perfect that soul-mate was after all.

I need a spliff now....
 
I could use a splif SO much, it makes me want to cry.

After spending all that time in and money on college, I'm an unemployed teacher, one of many in the state of California. Just as I came into my own as a teacher, my man went on disability, and I have supported us.

Then came the layoffs.

Now my age is an issue one way or another in the job market. What am I saying? There is not really a job market left for teachers. School has started. I went on three interviews this summer. This out of over a hundred applications.

My life is not happening like I figured it would AT ALL. Everybody always tells you to get an education and you'll be fine. NOT. If I had a trade I'd be better off, but at 51 I don't really have a lot of options as it turns out. I am learning what a bitch life can truly be and learning, as you said, that I am basically selfish, and at the core of my being, I am alone. And I don't trip anymore about that. I just accept it. Embrace it. Live another day.
 
I'm 53 and been a moderate user for 15 years. Coming to an end though, not because I'm getting on but for the lack of anything remotely worthy of buying where I come from. Pity, as I really couldn't see an end to it, otherwise.
 
25.

I think I was 21 the first time I rolled. I don't really consider myself an ecstasy user though, because at most I've only done it like once a year. maybe twice. I'd do it more often if I knew where to get it though. I only know of one place to get them, they're cheap, and currently they're the yellow alien heads.
